Why this rating
This daycare earned 4 out of 5 stars overall. Structural quality reflects a license in good standing and 6700% of lead teachers don't yet hold a degree or CDA. The structural rating also includes Louisiana's licensing baseline — what every licensed daycare in the state must meet. Louisiana caps infant ratios at 1:5, toddler ratios at 1:7, and preschool ratios at 1:15. Lead-teacher education isn't regulated. Teachers must complete 12 hours of annual training. No objective process measures (e.g., state quality rating or national accreditation) are available for this daycare. The overall rating reflects structural features only.

- Required Staffing - Director/ Director Designee1707.A.1.&2
Based on record review at 10 a.m., there failed to be a qualified Director, who is an on-site full time staff person, at the center during day time hours of operation (prior to 9:00 p.m.). Per the center's staff and owner's attendance records reviewed from 5/1/2025 - 7/3/2025, S1 failed to be present at the center full time. This could not be corrected during the inspection. Corrective Action: Effective 7/3/2025, S1 stated she will get S2 qualified as a director designee by 7/31/2025, to ensure compliance with this regulation.
